The frustration of continued existence

Patricia Wolf/KMRU/Fennesz at Holocene for my first show in 2+ years. ❤️
At my first show in two years and a guy noticed my Warp Records T-shirt and said “oh hey, nice shirt, did you hear about that musician who died, yeah, really sad, she was probably on drugs.” Premier guy experience, love it
I just finished the midpoint class of Ukulele Underground 102 We had to write a song in Key of F. I chose to go with I, ii, V for the verse and I ,vi , and ii for the chorus. In the key of F this means Verse F Gm C and for the verse F, Dm and a Dm for the chorus.
Good news! The Sunday night and Monday morning PCR tests both came back negative! That makes me confident enough that I will continue to get negative results for when I need the PCR test for the flight.

However, the antigen test this morning still is positive. The covid officer says that one might continue to give positive results for a week or longer.

So that means I need to use the PCR test result to get the flight home. The trouble is it takes 12-24 hours to get those results back and I need a test from the previous day in order to get on the flight. If I drop the test off before 9am it *usually* comes back around 9-10pm the same day, so that essentially means I'll book the flight and then not know if I'll be actually able to get on it until the night before.

I'm currently planning on coming back on Thursday. I also still don't feel *great* right now, so I'm hoping an extra couple days will leave some room for improvement too.

But in other good news, my sense of smell has come back this evening and I can taste food again!

My ideal monitor: a 34” ultrawide at 6880x2880 resolution. Seems we’re still a good half decade away from that, though.
I have too much to do this week, so I clearly refuse to start on any of it.
When the history of business communication tools in the first quarter of the 21st century is written, the adoption of instant messaging tools will be seen as where corporate memory went down a hole.
I'll add my experience to this. When I moved from games to browser tech, even though I had way less browser experience than my coworkers, I had a much better understanding of things like render loops, animation timing, and so on. I was able to teach them all sorts of cool tricks.

Unrequested fact of the day. Nipples evolved from sweat glands in the armpits which then migrated to the front to make feeding easier. Milk evolved from sweat. twitter.co...
Look, I'm super happy about things like Codespaces which make it easy to spin up a dev env in the cloud. But "cloud native"/serverless/etc. architectures which make it hard or impossible to do fully-localized dev with 100% open source tooling? No, no, a thousand times, no!

Have you awakened from a deep slumber during eternal Caturday?

oh hey, I can actually kind of taste this Gouda cheese. Not sure if that's because my smell is recovering or because Gouda is a super strong flavor tho 🤷‍♂️
